Admittedly I had never heard of this party before, but after looking into them calling them far-right seems to be quite a leap.
If you didn't know, Sweden used to be extremely welcoming to asylum seekers and refugees about a decade ago. What they got out of it were gangs, their youth being exploited to enact crimes (due to leniency towards minors), and neighborhoods that even the police doesn't dare drive through. Having a party that calls for integration and adaption to Swedish values, and at worst remigration, seems rather tame. Especially so if you just take a look across Øresund and see what's happening in Denmark.
You're confusing causation and correlation. There are no links between asylum seekers, refugees and gangs, and crimes.
What leads to crime is not welcoming refugees, it's leaving people on the back in a state of precariousness.

Criminal statistics and per capita would disagree
It is a consensus among sociological studies. Statistics are not studies. It means nothing.

What do you mean? Don't they benefit from Sweden's generous educational and welfare systems in addition to extra support for migrants?
Have you ever tried to seek for basic rights and support for migrants in EU ? I help lot's of immigrants in France. I'm always told that France is very generous and that it's easy to have healthcare, easy to go to a doctor for free.
Yet, in my experience, it's horribly difficult and expensive.
