The wiki is correct, Dr Dope1 is wrong.

Nope.
Mussolini was a socialist. One of their leading ones, as a matter of fact.
He wanted Italy to join WWI, which wasn't the orthodoxy of the international socialists.
He soon realized that international socialism as envisioned by Marx and Engels wasn't going to happen and that a better way to achieve the goals lay in a more nationalistic version.

That's where fascism came from. These are all facts.

I would say right-wing folks like to try to rewrite history. And they do.

You guys aren't even trying anymore. Seriously. You're so caught up in feeling good about yourselves that you just don't want to even think about questioning any of the left's sacred cows.
