Oh, sorry, I could've added an addendum to my comment.
"Every Soviet eventually became dominated by one party or died"
I'm quite aware of the other council based systems that cropped up (most familiar with Mahkno) and the attempts to reform the soviet system (most familiar with Kronstadt) but all of those died, so there's not much point in mentioning them. I also don't see the point of saying "it's just like soviets" when that version of the Soviets has only existed for at most a year or two, or completely only in theory.
