I always thought you where an Anarchist?

I am(well, somewhere between libertarian communist and left communist), but the October Revolution was an extraordinary rising up of the oppressed classes to take control of the means of production and establish soviets. What I object to was the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks afterwards.
