Zoltan's political stance is hard to categorize and Zoltan admits<ref name="1on1">[https://www.singularityweblog.com/transhumanist-zoltan-istvan-on-his-presidential-campaign/ Transhumanist Zoltan Istvan on His Presidential Campaign]</ref> that his position has evolved over time. While many have judged him to have a [[libertarian transhumanism|libertarian background]], Zoltan is a self-proclaimed pragmatist and [[survivalist transhumanism|survivalist ]], saying he will advocate for whatever policies "will most quickly lead to indefinite [[life extension]]". In Zoltan's view, the correct policy mix includes large government investments in research and education, 'chips'<ref name=chips>[http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/news/presidential-candidate-suggests-we-microchip-syrian-refugees-7402602 Presidential Candidate Suggests We Microchip Syrian Refugees]</ref> that track the movement and economic transactions of each citizen, and some form of [[universal basic income]]. Zoltan's positions have been attacked strongly by transhumanists on both the left and right of the [[transhumanist politics|political spectrum]] for his authoritarian tendencies.

Particularly controversial politics within the transhumanist movement include:
