Anti-immigration communist candidates

[Unicorn]

Several members of Finland's two communist parties want to reduce immigration because it allegedly depresses workers' wages. These people are also often against the adoption rights of same-sex couples.

They also receive more votes than other communist candidates in several parts of Finland. This means that if I vote for the communist party my vote benefits them (because of the D'Hondt method used in Finnish elections). I am reluctant to do so because of my vehement disagreement with the aforementioned views.

Understandable.

What are these candidates connections with the workers' organisations like?

They are usually male, working-class, long-time trade union activists.

Correction, it depresses finnish workers' wages.
Communism is an internationalist ideology, and though it is acceptable to use nationalism as a weapon for its implementation, this goes too far.
They are not real communists if they think finnish workers are better than workers of any country.

Umm... no. I don't think immigration depresses wages. Finland needs immigrants and Finnish workers benefit from immigration.

workers have no country. If they are anti-immigrant then they don't deserve to be called communist.

Well, Georges Marchais who was the head of the French Communist Party (PCF) from 1972 to 1994 opposed large-scale immigration.
