Crushing the soviets? Literally “power to the soviets was the main post revolution slogan”. The decrease in decision making power and influence of the soviet system came under war communism and good luck going through the civil war and 13 country invasion without it, it was reversed right afterwards

The prosecution complex of these extremely online people is hillarious. MLs dont want to kill you or throw you in camps or is sitting in their house thinking about it just cause Kornstadt and Makhnovia were suppressed (which again is much more historicaly gray than Bolsheviks being jealous of the successfull and pure hearted revolutionary anarchists and killing them cause authoritarianism). Fact is that thousands of russian anarchists worked with the Bolsheviks to build the proletarian state and defend the revolution. And a lot actualy went against the Bolsheviks not just in theory but by terrorism and open rebellion. Bukharin and dozens of bolshaviks where bombed DURING a pro anarchist/ left unity party commitee organized by Bukharin to support anarchists he thought were unfairly detained and put forth process for their release. So yeah a lot were suppressed as well no shit
