Its a sternly written letter written by Congress that does nothing. They’ve been a thing for decades and are how Congress expresses it’s official opinion. Since members have different opinions there has to be a consensus mechanism to express this or else it’s just individual Congress members saying what they think.
Yes, of course, I’m aware what a resolution is, but usually they have some sort of statement, a purpose. “We condemn socialism” is a meaningless, utterly stupid statement. What does that mean specifically? What is the purpose, except perhaps to make a polemical statement that is so general that it can serve no purpose other than right-wing propaganda?
Thanks, but i still don’t get it. I mean a resolution condemning socialism? What is that supposed to mean? That seems ridiculous even for today’s US.

None. You hit the nail solidly on the head.
