    Default Anti-immigration communist candidates

    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.
