Many anarchist share the ideal of preconfigurative politics, as in how we organize the revolution has a big influence on the society after the recolution.
Using this ideal as a guiding post, we should look how both currents propose to organize people, ressources and people. More details on synthesis and platform can be found in the anarchisf FAQ.
For me, when just looking at those two, the synthesis approach is more to my liking as is closer to what I would like society to look like and it seems to hone skills necessary for cooperations despite disagreements way more than the platform approach with its mandatory unity.
In practice I dont know of any noteworthy and actually relevant synthesis organizations currently or in the past, even when they were/are pretty big. It also seems to be less favored in my region of the world currently, where platform (and similar, especifismo) approaches are springing up all over the place.
