In answer to your inquiry :
National and racial chauvinism is a vestige of the misanthropic customs characteristic of the period of cannibalism. Anti-semitism, as an extreme form of racial chauvinism, is the most dangerous vestige of cannibalism.
Anti-semitism is of advantage to the exploiters as a lightning conductor that deflects the blows aimed by the working people at capitalism. Anti-semitism is dangerous for the working people as being a false path that leads them off the right road and lands them in the jungle. Hence Communists, as consistent internationalists, cannot but be irreconcilable, sworn enemies of anti-semitism.
In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.
They absolutely are. Don’t forget tankies have never been ideologically consistent. They’ll espouse whatever they need at the moment to further Putin and the anti-west interests.
Are there? Normally I see them saying things like “All Settlers are Legitimate Targets of Resistance™”
Stalin was an anti-semite who was planning his own Holocaust:

Notable Jewish person, btw: Karl Marx.
So, I guess original flavor tankies are just following their favorite leader?
Can we skip past the genocide to the bit where they piss themselves and die, then?
Tbf, he skipped that part too. Poor guy never got to do his last purge of “enemies of the state” 😔

Yes, that is one of the things quoted in the wikipedia article. You’ll notice that there’s some other stuff that comes after it.
