EDIT: Apparently, labelling them as far-right isn’t as clear-cut from an economic perspective, but they do hold many core identity politics that are common amongst far-right parties such as:

  • Voiced support for the idea of large-scale remigration on multiple occasions, even for Swedish-born immigrants: “Sweden belongs to the Swedes”
  • Supports Sweden leaving NATO
  • In favor of Sweden leaving the European Union in a so-called “Swexit”
  • Stated that Sweden should only support other countries on the condition that it benefits Sweden and that it has to be “Sweden first”

    Hilarious how you include “leaving NATO” on the list of “far right ideals”.

    I mean the party is a bigoted joke of white supremacists, but Western countries leaving NATO is a progressive notion favored by leftists. The opposite of reactionary shit.

      Both can be correct. Far-right influencers around the world are funded by Russia. Russia wants NATO disbanded. So you see hucksters online saying we should leave NATO. As well as far-right assets like Trump.

      If “leftists” support leaving NATO is to promote Russian and Chinese global military supremacy. They’re not leftists, they’re tankies. Ironically the American fascists who are preaching to leave NATO and trying to harm it for Putin’s benefit, have helped things a lot. EU nations are starting to reject buying American made war machines and denying requests to build American bases on their soil. This is going to really hurt America’s ability to force project which is a good thing. Just need to be careful that China and Russia do not fill the hole.

      It sounds like when the UK wanted Brexit. Most leftists support that, but for entirely different reasons of not wanting to be part of the empire.

      I’m summarising the points raised about why they are being reported as far-right.

      The NATO and “Sweden First” points aren’t that big of a deal, but collectively they touch on all the same talking points of far-right parties, which is why they are being labelled as such.

      Most of these political parties are being financed by countries like Russia, which want to break up these alliances and promote isolationist/nationalist ideologies.
