The Decolonial Indigenous and Proletarian Study Group is an anti-imperialist Discord server closely affiliated with ProleWiki. It is currently owned by Charhapiti and run by several others, most especially LocalEldritchComrade. Char inherited ownership after befriending members of the old group under a former name, that were sympathetic to Char's rants about the situation of Marxism and indigenous liberation struggles. The befriended BIPOC members remained active after a campaign to purge white chauvinism and establish a non-eurocentric space for consciousness raising. In studying Marxism together with the aim of decolonization, they collectively decided to uphold the standard Marxism-Leninism as reflected in the AES countries and restructured the space into what it is today. They identified a correlation between Gonzaloism, mestizo chauvinism, and white saviorism, and accordingly tightened against ultraleftism and especially against defense of Gonzalo. After finding no other Indigenous Marxist-Leninist server or platform, they decided to name themselves as the DIPSG in 2023. Formerly known as the People's Land of Learning project since around the time of the Great Purge, they merged their library into ProleWiki. DIPSG's intentionally indigenous focus finds expression in the Turtle Island Study Group and continues on from historical activity as a typical Marxist study group with regular beginner-level book clubs and documentary streaming. Unlike other indigenous-focused spaces, DIPSG is not exclusively focused on North America, but is more of a global space open to everyone sympathetic to indigenous causes, due to its history as the unity of Asian and Turtle Island comrades, but also African decolonial theoretical contributions.
