Why do we have 37,345 different socialist parties in the US?
Combination of fed infiltration, general social malaise, lack of money in organized worker groups, lack of unions, and the Marxist type of alienation.
Also a lot of parties split because of personal disputes among membership. In a lot of cases it's over stuff like cheating spouses or someone got caught doing harassment. America has no shortage of horny cranks and they're often the only ones with enough charisma and/or derangement to try starting a political party in this environment. So they end up unstable from the very outset.
It's telling that the early successful mass parties in Russia and China and Germany had any number of arguments and affairs and yet pretty much everyone was able to work together with their exes in solidarity, even friendship. The cause wasn't just greater than personal pain it aided in reconciliation.
"The" big one (CPUSA) was destroyed by the red scare and cooprion into liberal politics and organization. There has never been a replacement since. The closest they ever came was the BPP and it was violently destroyed.
Do you like the CPUSA? No? Then you go and form your own with blackjack and hookers
