There’s no versus. It’s “yes and yes.”
Both achieve our emancipation of the oppressors, all the while conscious of our failures and how we improve our efforts into liberating our comrades.
both is good

There is a versus. Atleast for platformists, as they want to achieve a dominant position in their regional anarchist movement or even aim to make their organization the only anarchist organization.

I dont know in the synthesist side has similar goals

No, there’s no versus, only distinctions. Platformists want to emancipate proles by temporarily organizing and localizing plans to be effective executives during our revolution. The state does the same exact strategy by employing local class traitors (police), federals, the army, & mercenaries when opposing proles. Disarray, encirclement, and guerrilla tactics will be employed regardless how synthesists & platformists strategize our emancipation. We differ in our strategies, but the goals remain the same until we are all free.

Both these strategies should be temporary. The state desires to keep their dominance pyrrhic-ally
