This chapter reflects on Lenin&s;s method of thinking, analysing, and settling problems of the time. What was specific in his understanding of dialectics, theorising contradictions, and suggesting their resolutions? The chapter shows Lenin&s;s style of thinking, which we may term as writing in conjuncture, hence contingent, provisional, and yet lasting beyond the issue, immediate, at hand. Thus, the chapter reflects on the play of the universal and the concrete in Leninist thinking, at the same time what Lukacs called the unity of thought and practice – an unstable but lasting resolution of the duality of revolutionary reality, namely thinking and working on revolution. Discussion on Lenin therefore cannot but take into account the methodological aspects of his work. Method was the kernel of his analysis and decisions. This is of course not to say that his method never changed, or that when confronted with his errors, his analysis or mode of investigation persisted. Leninist practice was built on “theory” that integrated the moment of a problem in life, life&s;s experiences . A theorist is thus someone who addresses a problem from the angle of the moment of its appearance in life. This is the internal condition of a theory. This also explains his emphasis on rupture and discontinuity. There is no stereotypical dialectical scheme laid out by Lenin. He does not foresee any synthesis, any form of an internal overcoming of the contradiction. On the contrary, Lenin points to the destruction of one of the two antagonistic sides, such as Tsarist autocracy or imperialism. Revolutionary strategy is based on an understanding of the unity of opposites, which is provisional and historically determined, and will break down in course of the dynamics. Such revolutionary strategy is woven around unforeseen subjective movements under conditions of war, militarism, and autocracy. What then is new in this situation? What can the subject imagine and create? Indeed, only by imagining, innovating, and creating, the political subject acts in the hour of crisis. Politics is the supreme form of such innovation, politics as thought, as intervention .
