10000-com maybe some more specific form of "essentialism," where behaviors that spring out of class antagonisms and power are instead attributed to immutable attributes of the people who perform them.

"to the ones who perform them" can you elaborate on this part? I guess the question hinges here: are you referring to essentializing the behaviours of "judeo-bolsheviks" in the positive sense? Like all Jews were essentialized to the traits of some socialist Jews in the Soviet union (doing good things but bad for empire)? Or is the claim that anti-Semitism essentialized the negative behaviours of "money hoarding" which some Jews may have done to all Jews? I think this is important to clarify what real actions were done and which were never done/not necessarily done by any of the people essentialized

What you said about how they'll switch up Jews for any other group and rationalize the behavior they're thinking about in terms of stereotypes about that group instead of systemic criticism. Like, blaming cheap Chinese products' poor quality on Chinese people being inherently sloppy instead of the realities of mass production and industrialization.

Ah yes, ok good, then of course comrade! 100-com

Maybe I would add that these stereotypes are often based in behaviours that are often also mythical (Chinese products being cheaper made isn't necessarily true)
