Yeah, except the splits in communist groups tend to fizzle pretty quickly and rarely result is decades or centuries of warfare. They also resolve if the split regains power and is forced to evolve their theoretical basis.
The only reason there are so many is because there's so little communist power in the west and the splits are incredibly small and niche. If any one of them ever managed to actually get into power, no matter how much they initially preached "revisionism" in any existing socialist project, they would very quickly re-organize and adapt to better relations.
The Sino-Soviet split was really the only big schism which would definitely be on the level of something like the protestant schisms, but it didn't result in centuries of bloodshed. Both parties also have adapted and changed significantly from when that split happened as material conditions changed.
Which I guess you could say the Christian sects did too, but that change was less defined and more generational and linked to the changing power structures of 17th and 18th century Europe.
Lol no wonder why the theocratic kooks keep saying communism is a religion because everyone keeps splitting like them
