While this type of statement is popular with some lawmakers, non-binding resolutions that do not change law often struggle to get a full vote in the Senate.

Key Points

  • Sen. Scott introduced a measure that asks Congress to officially speak out against socialism. It lists many historical examples where socialist governments led to famine, mass killings, and the loss of personal freedom.
  • The resolution mentions specific leaders like Stalin, Mao, and Castro. It argues that these regimes caused the deaths of over 100 million people worldwide through violence and starvation in places like the Soviet Union, China, and Cambodia.
  • The document also uses quotes from Jefferson and Madison to support its message. It argues that taking property from one person to give to another goes against the basic principles of American freedom and individual rights.
  • This is a concurrent resolution, which means it is a formal statement of opinion. It does not create new laws, change taxes, or authorize any government spending.
