No we don't give expression to all significant views. We write about
them - but we don't attempt to get the reader to emphasise with them.

Possibly one or both of us have merely mis-interpreted the others
meaning. I am in no way suggesting that Nazism shouldn't be written
about down to the last detail in Wikipedia. (Any sensible person will
see it for what it is, just as with [[Xenu]]). But I do not consider
that people should be allowed to express a Nazi POV on Wikipedia (not
just in articles - but generally speaking) or anywhere else.

Oh - and could you dispense with the condescending attitude?
