    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.
