This thesis presents and evaluates a selection of Lenin's political writings from 1902-1917 in an effort to illustrate the continuity in his political theory. It traces two themes, Lenin's fight against opportunism and his advocacy for organization, throughout the selection of writings in an attempt to illustrate such continuity. This thesis also seeks to show that because there is a clear continuity in Lenin's writings, that the general historiography that presents Lenin as fickle and overly flexible in his writings is untrue. Furthermore, it draws the conclusion that if Lenin was not overly flexible in his writings, then he was not changing theory in an effort to gain absolute power
