Does being for less immigration mean a party is inherently right-wing?

Not this sh!t again. One of these days this kind of drivel will actually drive me to commit a violent act. But not tonight. Instead...

Since nobody was calling the Nazi's left wing, we'd rather you dealth with the Idea that maybe fully fledged economic collectivism and democratic socialism can co-exist with racial prejudice, national patriotism and xenophobia.

It can and it has with astonishing regularity, especially in Europe.

For example?

British National Party (UK)
Front National (France)
Democratie National (Belgium)
Danish People's Party (Denmark)
National Democratic Party (Germany)
Attack (Bulgaria)
Slovak National Party (Slovakia)

Tbqh, I can't take anyone who says the Front National and the BNP are leftists seriously. At all.

Seriously, though, wikipedia's page on "no true Scotsman" should link to this thread as an example.

To me, far left and center left politics are differing degrees of the same belief, whereas center right and far right politics are two different creatures that cannot be reconciled.

I think it depends on the type of far-left you're talking about. If you mean Libertarian Socialism/Anarcho-Communism or whatever you want to call it, then yes I think that's a different degree of the belief chain running from Left-Liberalism->Social Democracy->Democratic Socialism->etc. But if you mean authoritarian communism (Stalinism or Maoism for example), then no, I think that is a completely different belief system than the modern (at least developed world) "center-left".
