Can you tell me a secret?

My secret is that I once wrote an article for the Journal of Ideology which asserted that all human babies are communists, because babies already think it is perfectly legitimate to own property, and it is only the social institutions and political institutions that prevent all of them from actually seizing the means of production.

The joke is that that is precisely what I don’t believe: I think human children are all rightists from birth (I know you’re not the only person on the internet to think so, I’ve seen at least one person on that post I linked elsewhere)

I think children probably are born without much of an ideology. Behaviorally they are all over the map. It doesn't seem consistent with an ideological bias. They really just want to be loved, fed and allowed to be agents of chaos. If anything they are anarchists.
