Join Atlas Society CEO Jennifer Grossman for the 228th episode of The Atlas Society Asks, where she interviews author, essayist, and journalist Ashley Rindsberg about his recent article in "The Free Press" concerning how Wikipedia devolved from a formerly objective online encyclopedia to what he describes as a partisan project, where a handful of editors are reshaping history before our eyes.

"Fascism ruled most during the 1920s and 1930s, the major examples being Mussolini in Italy, Franco in Spain, Hitler in Germany, the Tōhōkai party in Japan, and FDR in the U.S. Depending on the country and period, fascism also entails populism, militarism, xenophobia, and racism. The fact that the collapse of socialism in the 1990s wasn’t followed by a widely accepted moral case for capitalism left room for a revival and spread of fascism, roughly a century after it first ruled. Since Nazism is a contraction of nationalism and socialism, liberty-loving Americans should worry that nationalism is endorsed by many Republicans while socialism is endorsed by many Democrats. If these elements continue to grow and coalesce, evil will surely ensue."
