ABSTRACT

Accomplished Marxists, besides knowing the universe to be a dialectic process, are supposed to possess a dialectic method of thinking, which is appropriate to such a universe, and which constitutes the essence of revolutionary wisdom. The dialectic philosophy as seen a bold manœuvre in the defence of animism against science. Hegel availed himself of the fact that thought is not a mere reproduction of the flux of reality, in order to establish in good scientific repute, and yet over and above science, his religious ceremony of "dialectic thinking", which pretends that it is a reproduction of the flux of reality. Lenin was the most effective political thinker in history. And Lenin believed that his thinking was "dialectic"; he cultivated his mind in the shadow of this belief. It was a metaphysical contraption by which he managed to defend his right to use thoughts naturally, in spite of an unnatural conception of what thoughts are.
