This legislative proposal seeks to formally designate November 2 through November 8 as Anti-Communism Week . The bill includes extensive findings detailing the historical devastation caused by communist ideologies, asserting that they have led to the loss of over 100 million lives globally and suppressed fundamental freedoms and prosperity. The legislation emphasizes that communism has consistently brought ruin, silenced dissent, and demanded subservience to the state, describing it as "another word for servitude." It notes the persistence of tyrannical ideas, even when presented under new guises like "social justice" or "democratic socialism," which the bill argues still aim to diminish individual liberty and increase governmental control. The United States, founded on principles of liberty and opportunity, is stated to reject communism and stands in defense of these values. Ultimately, the bill amends the U.S. Code to establish this annual observance, requesting the President to issue a proclamation each year. This proclamation would call upon the American people to observe Anti-Communism Week with appropriate ceremonies and activities, thereby honoring the victims of oppression and reaffirming the nation's commitment against communism.
