A Brief Question of Syndicalism - if we had gone Bakunin's way during the First International, would history have looked a lot different?

Marx rejected the ‘syndicalist path’ in his quarrels with Bakunin during the years of the First International. But, could it be true that syndicalism in fact represents the very essence of Marxian socialism, as a model of ‘the self-government of the commune’ and as a bulwark against despotic ‘red bureaucracy’?

Fascism and Anarchism would have been identical if we were Bakunin based than Marx based. Firstly because Sorel and Bakunin had very identical ideas for Syndicalism's goals Sorel pulling the National Myth angle and Bakunin on the technical angle, it was scarily compatible, not to mention They were both Anti-Semites. Second, If you had Bakuno-Deleonism you got yourself NeoCorporatism. Any socdem party under such conditions would easily fall into fascism. Third, Mussolini wouldn't have left the Italian Socialist Party if that were the case, since Bakunin wouldn've been all for total war against everybody.
