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 Organization 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 as legitimate documents.
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 510 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 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 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.
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, as it becomes their passion and satisfaction to contribute towards their community, its development 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. Even then, they can get all their needs met in this era of society.
