According to site you're citing, the nomination was actually an attempt at satire by a Swedish MP:
"Apparently though, Brandt never intended the nomination to be taken seriously. Brandt was to all intents and purposes a dedicated antifascist, and had intended this nomination more as a satiric criticism of the current political debate in Sweden."
No need for complex explanations when a simple one is given.
