Has there ever been historic research on contrarianism? The more

Maybe Hegel's dialectics, though now that I say that it sounds like bullshit

I think Mussolini can be explained differently: when he realized his style of socialism got nowhere he tried something else.
The book "The anatomy of fascism" talked about Mussolini. Can't remember it all however.

Lenin talked about how Fascism was capitalism in decline, basically the bourgeois values of the West adapting some socialist and collectivist principles to their own benefit instead of the proles. Just another step along the road to communism :^)
So in a way, fascism can be viewed as an expression of dialectic.
I'm not saying I'm a communist or that I necessarily agree with Lenin, but I think the viewpoint of a communist can be useful here.

On topic though, I've heard some people refer to it as pendulum theory, but googling that I can't find anything academic.

Also I was reading Sur la Violence by Georges Sorel, and he did a lot of name drops I had to look up. The book was written in the early 1900s, and a lot of the socialists he mentioned that I looked up had become fascists at some point after the book was published. Maybe as many as half. So it's not just Mussolini.

The money for tending his grave was payed by the fascist party.
