A capitalist walked into a bar and sat down between Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders. Just then, the 10PM news came on and the lead story was of a man on a ledge of a skyscraper preparing to commit suicide.

Bernie looked at the capitalist and asked, "Do you think he'll jump?"

The capitalist replied, "I bet he will."

Alexandria and Bernie both shot back, "Well, we bet he won't."

The capitalist placed $10 on the bar and said, "You're on!"

Just as AOC and Bernie placed their money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building. AOC and Bernie were very upset and bitterly tried handing their money to the capitalist.

With a slight smile, the capitalist said, "I can't take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5 o'clock news and knew he’d jumped."

Alexandria replied, "Well, we did too; but we didn't think he'd do it again."

This is the reasoning of socialists: they’ve seen societies that adopt socialism die repeatedly throughout history, yet somehow cling to the idea that it won’t happen again.
