I wasn't aware of that. I was under the impression they were less extreme than the Bolsheviks, and didn't want to execute everyone that wasn't a hard core Bolshevik

They were more extreme than the bolseviks, they were just on the side of capitalists so were painted with a nicer brush by capitalist historians
