HCONRES 58 United States House · 119th Congress

Denouncing the horrors of socialism.

HCONRES 58 is a symbolic congressional resolution denouncing socialism in all its forms. It does not create new laws or affect any policies, as it is a non-binding statement of opinion. The resolution cites historical events and quotes from Founding Fathers to argue that socialism leads to authoritarianism and economic harm, referencing examples like the Soviet Union and Venezuela. It formally "denounces" socialism and opposes implementing socialist policies in the U.S., but has no legal effect on citizens or government actions. This is a procedural resolution, not a policy measure.
