Whereas socialism has repeatedly led to famine and mass 
murders, and the killing of over 100,000,000 people 
worldwide; 
Whereas many of the greatest crimes in history were com-
mitted by socialist ideologues, including Vladimir Lenin, 
Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, Pol Pot, Kim 
Jong Il, Kim Jong Un, Daniel Ortega, Hugo Chavez, and 
Nicola´s Maduro; 
Whereas tens of millions died in the Bolshevik Revolution, at 
least 10,000,000 people were sent to the gulags in the 
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and millions more 
starved in the Terror-Famine (Holodomor) in Ukraine; 
Whereas between 15,000,000 and 55,000,000 people starved 
to death in the wake of famine and devastation caused 
by the Great Leap Forward in China; 
Whereas the socialist experiment in Cambodia led to the kill-
ing fields in which over a million people were gruesomely 
murdered; 
Whereas up to 3,500,000 people have starved in North 
Korea, dividing a land of freedom from a land of destitu-
tion; 
Whereas the Castro regime in Cuba expropriated the land of 
Cuban farmers and the businesses of Cuban entre-
preneurs, stealing their possessions and their livelihoods, 
and exiling millions with nothing but the clothes on their 
backs; 
Whereas the implementation of socialism in Venezuela has 
turned a once-prosperous country into a failed State with 
the highest rate of inflation in the world; 
Whereas President Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Dec-
laration of Independence, wrote, ‘‘To take from one, be-

cause it is thought that his own industry and that of his 
fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to oth-
ers, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal in-
dustry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle 
of association, the guarantee to every one of a free exer-
cise of his industry, and the fruits acquired by it’’; 
Whereas President James Madison, the ‘‘Father of the Con-
stitution’’, wrote that it ‘‘is not a just government, nor 
is property secure under it, where the property which a 
man has in his personal safety and personal liberty, is 
violated by arbitrary seizures of one class of citizens for 
the service of the rest’’; and 
Whereas the United States was founded on the belief in the 
sanctity of the individual, to which the collectivistic sys-
tem of socialism in all of its forms is fundamentally and 
necessarily opposed: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress denounces socialism in all its 
forms, and opposes the implementation of socialist policies 
in the United States.
