    History shows that systems that control people's thinking reduces innovation, weakens education and destroys scientific progress. Take the Apartheid education

    Fascist thinking does discourage critical inquiry, and mathematics trains logical reasoning.

    Answer: Yes
    Answer Confidence: 90 %
    Supporting Text:
    From an anthropological perspective, fascist systems promote rigid hierarchies, obedience, and simplified worldviews. These conditions reduce cognitive diversity and discourage critical inquiry. Mathematics, as a discipline, does cultivate abstraction, logic, and pattern recognition, which can counter simplistic thinking.

    Mathematics alone cannot undo ideological conditioning or political indoctrination.

    Answer: No
    Answer Confidence: 90 %
    Supporting Text:
    Anthropology shows that ideology operates not only at the level of logic, but through emotion, ritual, identity, and power. Fascism restructures social relations and moral frameworks, not just reasoning processes. Mathematics does not address fear, myth-making, or collective identity formation.

    Maths fixes is it isn't the truth, metaphorical so saying that critical thinking, logic and freedom to question helps protect people

    Answer: No

    The claim is metaphorical and overstates the corrective power of mathematics.

    Answer: No

    The claim treats fascism as a cognitive malfunction rather than a socio-political system. It ignores cultural transmission, propaganda, and historical trauma that shape authoritarian beliefs beyond rational calculation.
