    It is a meaningless resolution, but the context / why they did is probably:

    1. A socialist just won the election for mayor of New York and they’re mad about that
    2. They’re gearing up for war with Venezuela and if people aren’t buying that Maduro is the head of a drug cartel, then they can try the good old fashioned “we need to invade to free these poor people from the horrors of socialism” schtick that worked so well in the Cold war. The resolution puts Hugo Chávez and Nicolas Maduro on the same level as Stalin and Polpot.
