I think the most people were as ultra-left, i.e. for the rule of the soviets (and not the rule of a party over them: Lenin wrote the soviets were an hundred times more to the left than the bolsheviks).
Why anarchists were for the soviets is for it was what could be the nearest of an anarchist organised society.
For the ingame about Kronsdadt, ok, we could say that was an anarchist event.

it goes to show how the reality of the world works. You can be as idealistic and democratic as you want, but if you are weak it doesn't matter, especially in my country, especially during this time. The weak were crushed.
