Splintering of Nazism

At first there was just Communism. Later on, however, it split into several different sects. They included Marxism, Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism etc.

My question to you is this: If Nazism survived for long enough, how would it split into different sects of the main ideology, for example Hitlerism, Himmlerism or Speerism? What kind of varieties of the Nazi ideology could be possible?

You've got Ernst Rohm's more socialist National Socialism.
 
I was going to suggest:
-Strasserism, which does play like Rohm's ideas, and suggests a second revolution.
-Racial Progressive, which leads to neverending demands on racial purity and ensures that after a Jewish question, there is a Arab Question, then a Polish Question, etc...
-National Socialist-Asgardian: starts to adopt old Viking culture in a kind of retro-religiosity.
-Pragmatic Socialist: The Ideology is nothing, the state is nothing. Pragmatic Socialists would essentially be moderates who lip-service the cause and reformers who seek continuity but also a way to end the status quo...
 
There were splinterings of Nazism within limits - Strasserism and Hitlerism at first, which ended with the purging of the SA and the Strasser brothers (one of whom escaped), and eventually during the regime, you had many disaffected Nazis (mostly Catholics, but other spiritualists as well) who took a more Revolutionary Conservative position, mostly anti-biological, more spiritual and subtly anti-Hitlerian, which culminated in a coup d'etat attempt (Operation Valkyrie) and the purging of many Revolutionary Conservatives within the army especially.

Obviously, there couldn't have been as many splinterings of Nazism as of Marxism, for very simple reasons: 1. Nazism was not theoretically explicit and refined; 2. Nazism was far younger than Marxism; and 3. Nazism belonged mostly to one country.
 
Ideologically speaking, Nazism was little but splinterings. The challenge is for a coherent set of competing ideologies to emerge from the stew - the system depended far more on personalities than convictions. It would be interesting to see how it goes after Hitler's death, though. All pile on Himmler, and then ??
 
Good point! Mussolonisim-The original idea of plain Fascisim and power in the state.
Perhaps a more expansionist one, or a Balkans friendly one from Albania and Yugoslavia.
 
But the divisions within communism arose in different nation-states. The Sino-Soviet split; the Yugo-Soviet split; the split between the Soviet Bloc and the eurocommunists of the West.

A war-winning Nazism exists in one nation-state (or empire-state as Nial Ferguson calls it). A schismatic group will be hunted down and killed/exiled, as Trotsky was.
 
Do (the original Italian) fascism and falangism not count?
They were very different in character to Nazism. For one they didn't rely on xenophobia or any form of biological racism, had no great projects of extermination - their sole point of agreement with Nazism is their anti-communism and their authoritarianism. In fact, they either allied with Nazism reluctantly or not at all (Italian fascism and Spanish falangism respectively).
