WI: Mussolini Stays A Socialist

Benito Mussolini started off as a radical member of the Italian Socialist Party (PSI), but broke with them over WWI. What would have happened had he had decided that WWI was an imperialist war and kept with the party line?
 
This sounds like a spin off to the "Our Struggle" TL

Realistically he probably gets killed or exiled from Italy.

If Benito was able to lead a socialist revolution it would get quite bloody when they went head to head with the Vatican.

Maybe the Vatican ends up an earlier equivalent of West Berlin surrounded by a communist state?

WIth the USSR and Italy going communist perhaps the rest of the dominoes fall in Europe, Hungary, France, Germany, etc.
 
If Benny remained socialist will probably...no surely start to butting head with the other leaders of the movement; remember while he was a know and influential member of the socialist, it's was far far to be one really important.
The most probable destiny it will be being part of the more militant communist/socialist cadre and start fighting both the fascist and the goverment ending in Jail, killed or in exile, while Matteotti and other moderates go to form their own party and become part of the goverment
