What if Mussolini decided not to get involved in World War II and join the Axis? What would a Cold War fascist Italy look like?
i think it is possible it is very interesting but germany with its leader adolf would have proably have invaded them just like romiania if im correct i might not be but ether that or the soviets would have came though and we would have the italians socialist repuiblic

ok well the communist take over does happen which then the ussr has another client state and if mussolini did stay out hitler was very paranoid and with his imperial ambitions he would invade and counquer italy then with the eastern front closing the soviets would come and liberate italy and cantra to poular belive communism is not a bad syetem u have to go bout it the right wayt every body looks at stalin when they think of communism if ur a communist ur not brutal communsits doint supress people dictators do!

This could only work however if Greece did not respond to a Yugoslav call for help.If Mussolini simply decide to ignore Hitler and not join the war, Italy is going to attack Yugoslavia or Greece to keep up "italian honour". I would say that Yugoslavia is the most probable candidate, since controlling Adriatic sea was an old italian issue. Italy could win that war, even if it would take at least a couple of years (italian army was largely based on infantry and didn't have good officers).
This not entirely certain.As for Germany, Hitler is not going to attack Italy at all. You can invade the peninsula from the Alps, but you can control it only with a fleet. Regarding operation Barbarossa, OTL it wasn't ever delayed for the invasion of Greece, but only due to the Rasputitza.
Am I the only that thinks that such an operation could turn into a huge fiasco for the Allies?Without a mediterrean theatre, I think that Churchill would try an invasion of Norway in 1942 or 1943 backed by american troops, though.
