I regret to inform you that despite my own political preferences I am not going to approve of any government where the political opponents are oppressed.
A kind, benevolent, and merciful dictator will never (until proven otherwise) be good in my eyes.
You must disapprove of Capitalism to a greater degree than Socialism, then, because Capitalism oppresses the working class, who far outnumber the Capitalists. All systems oppress political opponents, what matters is which class is uplifted and which is oppressed, until class is eliminated as a concept. Moreover, the USSR wasn’t a dictatorshio, but a democracy, you can read Soviet Democacy for more on how the Soviet model worked. It’s even listed as a source on the Wikipedia article for Soviet Democracy, so that should pass your bias checks.
Kronstadt was lead by Stepan Petrichenko, a Tsarist that tried to join the White Army, failed, then lead a mutiny and managed to successfully join the Tsarists afterwards. The fact that a Tsarist-led rebellion occured in the middle of a bloody civil war against the Socialists doesn’t mean the Anarchists were oppressed, just people deliberately holding the civil war hostage so they could get preferential treatment.
You’ll also know that the Soviets were the only supporters of the Spanish Anarchists, sending many arms to help fight the fascists. The Soviets disagreed with Anarchists, but often fought alongside them.
You really need to actually dig into subjects before bringing them up as though you are familiar from simple wikipedia blurbs, because otherwise you end up defending the fascist Tsarists.

Kronstadt rebellion (mentioned in the wikipedia article) seems to be highlighting that this model was in fact oppressing: socialists and anarchists.
