The Association of Autonomous Communes in the Andes (Asociación de Comunas Autónomas de los Andes), often referred to as the United Andean Communes, Andes International Community (Comunidad Mundial Andina) or C.M.A., is a collection of autonomous but cooperative anarchist communes in what used to be Bolivia and northern Chile, and the result of the violent Andean Revolution of 2036, a primarily anarchist rebellion against the authoritarian dictatorial governments of Bolivia and Chile: the military juntas of Gustavo Sejas Revollo (in Bolivia) and José Antonio Kast (in Chile) that took power in 2030 and 2027 respectively.

The C.M.A. was officialy formed in late 2041 with the end of the five-year Andean Revolution, in an agreement between the major forces that participated in it, namely the Bolivian Black Flag Organization (Organización Bandera Negra Boliviana), Core of Direct Action in Chile (Núcleo de Acción Directa en Chile), Libertarian Syndicalist Movement (Movimiento Sindicalista Libertario) and Libertarian Revolutionary Caucus (Camarilla Revolucionaria Libertaria, the majority group in the "Movement for Socialism" party after its 2033 libertarian shift), as well as other smaller groups. Although a spectacular victory, the Revolution did not secure the liberation of southern Chile and Patagonia, as it originally intended to do, with the C.M.A locked in a desperate ceasefire with the authoritarian southern Chilean government of José Antonio Kast. Anarchist forces both in the metropolitan region of Santiago and in largely ungoverned Chilean Patagonia however, have started to popularize the idea of a second revolt to finalize the liberation of Chile and Bolivia. While still in its early stages of development, the C.M.A. has so far managed to sustain itself in the aftermath of the Revolution. It follows bottom-up and horizontal organization, and acts as a free association of local communes that, in turn, cooperate to allow cities and regions to function. Property and the means of production are commonly held, and most communes follow a library or gift economy, as was originally intended by the majority of organizations that participated in the Revolution, with a few instead opting for mutualism or other anarcho-individualist forms of economics. Aside from local citizen meetings, the Community Development Assembly (Asamblea de Desarrollo Comunitario) takes place once a month, where multiple randomly selected citizens from each region discuss the future plans of the entire C.M.A., which they then vote on and pursue in their respective communities.
Some small areas officially under hegemony of the C.M.A. remain in open defiance of the Revolution's principles, and are generally shunned by the rest of the association, perhaps the most notable being the Christian Movement of Santa Cruz (Movimiento Cristiano de Santa Cruz), led by former CDP politician Luis Fernando Camacho, that has taken hold of the city of Montero and its surrounding area. Many communist and socialist groups that aided the anarchists in the revolution have also in many instances criticised the C.M.A., considering it too weak to repel against a counter-revolutionary invasion, but have not acted directly against it. Remnants of the CIA-backed authoritarian government that was overthrown in the Revolution are also common in certain places, but not powerful enough to take a stand.

Recently, the C.M.A. Community Development Assembly, with initiative of the Pan-American Solidarity Movement, has joined the Alternative United Nations and the Eighth Workers' Internationale in an effort to spread the anarchist and socialist ideal throughout the world and help aid revolutionary movements in oppressive nations.
