[Star Wars] Why did Anakin kill lots of people who were neither jedi, rebels, nor political opponents?

Didn't he consider himself one of the good guys (although heavily misguided)? If he truly thought "from my point of view, the jedi were evil", why did he kill lots of people who weren't even remotely related to the Rebel Alliance or the jedi? If he believed that he was the "good guy" and the jedi/rebels were "bad guys", shouldn't he only stick to killing jedi/rebels?

And what happened to abolishing slavery? Wasn't one of the reasons he helped destroy the Galactic Republic was that the Republic was too weak and corrupt to enforce their anti-slavery laws?

If you truly believe "the Jedi are evil", then it's a small step to "the Jedi, and people who help them are evil". And it's another small step to "People who try to stop me are helping the Jedi, so they're Evil". And so on. That's how people slippery slope themselves into the dark side.
