After the revolution was won, the bolsheviks shut down the constituent assembly after they lost the election, and disbanded the rival socialist parties. During the revolution, they killed anarchists, most notably in the Kronstadt rebellion. They also invaded the Ukrainian free territory, an anarchist stateless territory, to bring them under the Soviet heel. The bolsheviks were against any revolution that wasn't in their own totalitarian control. They were also actively anti-democratic, which flies in the face of core socialist principles.
