With a PoD after 1914 but in which Italy still joins the Entente and the Entente is victorious, could there be a Communist revolution in Italy sometime between 1917 and 1930?
Given the POD you gave... No. It is not going to happen.
Categorically no? I mean, the Biennio Rosso arguably comes close to qualifying by itself.
Naa, they really never had a real chance to overthrow the goverment, as said they were too weak and divided and the army will have not defected in mass in their favor; plus there were enough anti-communist and protofascist to counter them. Cause immense damage and political chaos? Absolutely yes, but not to gain power
Is it really impossible for Communists to take power? What if there was right-wing infighting? Maybe Mussolini was killed in World War 1 and Gabriele D'Annunzio ends up leading the fascists. He is unable to get the support of Italo Balbo and when he tries the March on Rome or something similar the King has the army fight him because he is seen as more revolutionary than Mussolini. The monarchists win, but are weakened enough that the Communists can succeed.
By the time of the march of Rome the revolutionary spirit of the workers is already gone, sure protest strike and manifestation for the work condition will still happen but the revolution is out of question and frankly getting rid of the fascist if they try to take power with the force will make the PCI think two or three time before doing it.
