The Autonomous Communists International, also known as Armored Combat International, is a libertarian communist society set in the near future. The faction practices direct democracy and a horizontal organizational structure without hierarchies.

The founding of ACI is inspired primarily by a conversation between D-BOI and Castle and admiration of CN ACF Realbuilder. In a random chat between D-BOI and Castle, they mentioned the phenomenon of the lack of real leftist organization. Months later, taking much influence from CN ACF Realbuilder's fictional government structure, the notion of ACI slowly builds up until it is founded on October 13th, 2025.

The ACI flag, in short, resembles the working class of the world rising up and striving for a brighter future. The gear resembles the industrial workers and all proletarians, the globe in the middle resembles the international cause, and the stripe from left to right symbolizes an upward momentum that the world and society will improve and rise.

History

ACI is founded on October 13th, 2025, by D-BOI and Merydian9. Reporter was soon added as an advisor and given member status to observe the process. After its foundation, the founding members began a process of drafting the Article of Association and Military Command Structure documents aimed at defining the integral structure of ACI—what it means to be a part of such an organization. The drafts will be reviewed by all ACI members to hold a unanimous vote to pass the two documents.

On December 27th, 2025, all ACI members voted on the 《Article of Association》 and 《Military Command Structure》 and passed the documents.

Article of Association (Document)

The Article of Association serves as the guideline and rulebook of the ACI. The most up-to-date AA is as follows:

Article of Association—December 2025

1. General Consensus

• - 1. All members of ACI are equal

• - 2. Members wishing to take actions incompatible with our ideals are asked to do so without their faction tag. Nonetheless, they will still be held accountable for damage done to the ACI image.
• - 3. Members must treat other groups with respect. When a disagreement occurs between groups, it is important to first seek to resolve the disagreement through diplomatic means
• - 4. Members of ACI are not to engage in defamatory language
• 5. Members of ACI are to treat everyone as equals and with respect.
• - 6. Members of ACI are not to disparage groups of people, or engage in generalization
• 7. Members should have fun but also understand that at times, rationality comes before LARP (Live-Action-Roleplay). Don’t hold a grudge over role-play.

2. Diplomatic consensus

• - 1. Members of ACI will not take hostile actions against other groups or players unless a state of war has been formally declared.
• - 2. All members of ACI should have self-discipline when sharing technologies or information, to not send them towards people we deem untrustworthy or hostile. Any sharing with non-members requires the approval of others. For example, if we want to share something, we need to ask others if it's acceptable and only proceed if we receive approval from the majority. If even one person objects, we need to wait.

3. Faction Conduct

• - 1. ACI does not “claim” sandbox servers; rather, they are more so a server protection force. Unless in the case that the server populace overwhelmingly supports ACI or that ACI owns the server, the official role of ACI on servers is mainly to fight other factions. (applying 1.2, members should avoid doing actions that would be seen as negative by people of sandbox servers but are free to do what they want beyond that.)

Military Command Structure (Document)

The Military Command Structure serves as the guideline and rulebook of how the ACI military structure will work. The most up-to-date MCS is as follows:

ACI Military Command Structure

As of now, the ACI Military Command Structure is in its embryo stage. There are currently few guidelines and explanations on our command structure.

General Line

• Forced mobilization against any member's will is disallowed, but all ACI members should recognize their obligation to join in battles and conflicts.
• There are no rank in ACI; all members are equal

--

The structure of ACI military is composed of two systems:

Organizational Command Staff

The OCS consists of the commanding elements of the ACI military organization.

• All military officers share equal positions in decision-making.
• All military officers are selected based upon agreed consensus or vote by the military members.

ACI Armed Forces

The ACI-AF is composed of all combat-capable members and branches.

• Discipline is agreed upon by all in the unit.

RP-Information

ACI Lore distinctly covers three areas of ACI histories, that being

1. The beginning of ACI's revolution

2. The midst of spreading global revolution

3. ACI dissolving and advancing socialism

1st stage RP

501 Revolution

The 501 Revolution, or the Labor Day Revolution, was the event that led to the Second American Civil War.

Ari Valen

Ari Valen was an American revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He was the first head of government of the Autonomous Communists International, serving from 2020 to 2029. As a revolutionary and founder of ACI, Valen led the 501 Revolution, which established the world's first proletarian-led society that is democratically run. Ideologically a Marxist, he developed the ideology called libertarian communism.

Libertarian Communism

(A fictional ideology different from real-world Libertarian Socialism)

The ideology is, in theory, close to orthodox Marxism and Leninism (NOTE: Marxism and Leninism as separate ideologies are different from Marxist-Leninism, an ideology created by Joseph Stalin) and in complete opposition to Marxist-Leninism. On the ideology of ML, libertarian communists hold the Trotskyist view that they are deformed workers' states. Although the movement aligns with Leninism, as they were sprouting out in the most advanced capitalist society, the United States, LC in the US holds a more optimistic view on a proletarian transitional state, believing that their material condition better allows the realization of workers' democracy.

2nd stage RP

SICAS

SICAS (Supercomputing Information Cybernetic Automation System) is a horizontal cloud-system-based supercomputing & simulation system designed for central planning and information processing.

Lift Infantry

Lift Infantry is an exoskeleton-powered soldier. The term originated from when exoskeletons were used to lift heavy cargos; they would be called lifters. As exoskeletons were used in combat, they were given the classification Lift Unit.

3rd stage RP

ACI Socialist Society

ACI Society by the 3rd stage is run by democratically elected councils from the ground up. Nation-states became nonexistent. Nationalism was a thing of the past. A notable characteristic of this era is the extinction of class societies, money, and state on Earth. Different from historical "socialist" or "communist" societies, where they would proclaim being a socialist state, ACI socialist society is strictly defined as the transitional stage towards communism that is more advanced than the most advanced capitalist society in the world.

Automation and Worktime

People in this time usually work a few hours a day, or sometimes take days off at will, and spend the rest on their hobbies, passions, contributions, or whatever they see fit, as automation and central planning with SICAS helped drastically in reducing the amount of human labor needed to produce goods.

Replacement of the old family structure

In this stage, women are given the opportunity to have far more abundant time to enjoy their life. With social services like public canteens, gymnastics, cinemas, laundries, daycares, and other things, women can be liberated from the shackles of thousands of years of family chores and have far more time to enjoy their lives.

"Socialist" Era Problems

An ongoing significant societal problem of 3rd-stage ACI society is the emergence of a portion of the population becoming "lazy." With nearly all manual hard labor replaced with automation, a portion of the population chose to stop working and leisure materialistically. Although it is not a pressing issue, as people in this era are more motivated to work than ever—it becomes their passion and satisfaction to contribute towards their community—the development of this portion of the population still concerns experts alike, referring to it as a socialist-era societal problem. Now that people have been freed from the constant dread of working to survive in capitalism, some people who haven't adapted to a new socialist culture have stopped working and rely on their communities' and society's support to live precisely because work ceased to be a mandatory labor in order to live.
