Some aesthetics commonly associated with Anarcho-Transhumanism, especially among online users, are the [[File:Vaporwave.png]] [https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Vaporwave Vaporwave], [https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Synthwave Outrun] and [https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Y2K Kaybug] aesthetics, notable for their retro-futuristic technological influences, indicating that Anarcho-Transhumanism isn't just about modern technology, but also the utilization of much of the technology that previous generations associated with being "futuristic" at the time. Older tech is also often used in @H+ praxis as it is less easier to track activity than more modern devices.

Borrowing from [[File:Antech.png]] [[Techno-Anarchism|techno-anarchism]], anarchist activist William Gillis and others argue that the disruptive nature of emergent technologies are either incompatible or extremely dangerous with hierarchical structures of today, including representative or majoritarian democracy. Failure to challenge physical and social conditions together has been argued to risk [[File:Captrans.png]] [[Capitalist Transhumanism|oligarchic transhumanism]], primitivism, or even [[File:Thanto.png]] extinction.

Anarcho-Transhumanists also criticize non-anarchist forms of transhumanism such as [[File:Nattrans.png]] [[Nazi Transhumanism]] and [[File:Libtrans.png]] [[Libertarian Transhumanism]] as incoherent and unsurvivable due to their preservation of the state. They view such instruments of power as inherently unethical and incompatible with the acceleration of social and material freedom for all individuals. Anarcho-Transhumanism is [[File:Anticap.png]] anti-capitalist, arguing capitalist accumulation of wealth would lead to dystopia while partnered with transhumanism. Anarcho-Transhumanism advocates for equal access to advanced technologies that enable morphological freedom and space travel.

Anarcho-Transhumanists advocate a variety of economic systems, with the common theme of rejecting systems based on absentee ownership of land and the means of production, such as [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]] and [[File:ML.png]] [[marxism–Leninism|state socialism]]. All Anarcho-Transhumanists are anti-capitalist, owing to anarchism's understanding of capitalism as a hierarchical system with capitalists and landlords as de-facto rulers.
