    If there are good numbers of both, it wouldprobably manifest as less centralization of the state and some elements of syndicalism that may not otherwise be there, plus an enshrining of anarchist ideals and representation in the state (oxymoronic as that sounds lol). You might also see synthesis movements that combine elements of anarchism and ML-ish thought, as the simultaneous popularity of both alongside a successful unity movement would probably lead to cross-pollination.

      I think assuming that the ideologies internet revolutionaries talk about will heavily inform the shape of society is naive. When BLM happened, the focus was on defunding the police, something only a small slice of more moderate anarchists had been talking about before that. A larger uprising would shape the discourse even more than BLM did.

        Absolutely. The exact demands and conditions will dominate, at least in most people's minds.

        I interpreted the premise of OP's question as a "what if?", where the hypothetical is that ML types "win" alongside anarchists. The exact conditions will matter, but unless it's a bourgeois revolution (which I wouldn't count as winning), the ideological commitments of those groups would play a big role.
