WI/AHC: Italian Civil War

So, basic outline is Mussolini either dies in the Great War, or never gets serious afterward, and so Italy never becomes Fascist. Red revolts happens, but Emmanuel has a backbone in this case, and authorize the police to shoot and crush the insurrection. So the Kingdom of Italy tugs along for the rest of the 1920s, but everything goes to hell in 1929 and soon we have a civil war between a Industrial Red North vs Catholic and Conservative South.

What happens next? Is any of this possibly? Any other way for a civil war in Italy to break out?
 
my scenario was Mussolini deposed while trying to enter WW2, then founding an earlier Italian Social Republic, but have been told that the creation of that breakaway state was unique situation with German troops already in the country?

Well who won/lost the Great War? And did Italy fight at all?

One "funny" allohistorical illusion that could come from that is that Mussolini or Italo Balbo take power and create a fascist Italy after the civil war, but he cannot joins the war because he has to rebuild Italy

While in Spain Franco's coup goes right and there is no civil war, and so Spain joins the war instead of Italy

Italy did fight in WW1, Allies won, and it ended up much like OTL. The idea here is Mussolini does not take over in 1922, and Italy just sort of moves along before things blows up in it face.

Well, Italy would be a ideological mess based on who won because of the ideological plurarity in the region, it would not be a conflict between communists and monarchists, the left would have sindicalists, national sindicalists, communists, social democrats, etc, while the right would have everything from Evolian traditionalists to fascists

Evola ideology is very underexplored in this forum, I imagine what would happen if the Kingdom won the civil war and they came to the conclusion that "the weakness of democracy and the modern decandence" brought the war, and so they went full traditionalist....
