This reminds me of this board game called Secret Hitler and the game starts with a majority of Liberals (liberal as in non-fascist, not a "neoliberal") and minority of Fascists.
You can even play this online! secrethitler.io (warning, there is a lot of fascist sympathizers on this site, ironically)
Basically, this game simulated the political climate of the Weimar Republic.
There are 3 roles: Liberal, Regular-Fascist, and Hitler (who is on the fascist team)
Liberals don't know each other. Regular-Fascists know each other are and who Hitler is, but Hitler doesn't know anyone else's identity.
Basically, Liberals are trying to enact Good policies, and Fascists are trying to enact Bad policies.
Players can also "execute" another player, removing them from the game. Fascists players can use it to remove Liberal players and acheive a fascist majority and Liberal players can also use it to eliminate the "Hitler" player, immediately ending the game and ending in a victory for Liberals.
It's actually a fun game to play sometimes, and you don't need friends to play it with since you can play it with online people. Although, again, the users on secrethitler.io aren't exactly the friendliest people.
The theme of this game can be offensive to some people, but the creators of this game didn't make it to be pro-fascist, quite the opposite, in fact.
