I was never apolitical. For nearly all of my childhood I watched the news with my parents every night which gave me extensive political exposure. I adopted many of my parents views as everyone does, such as anti-conservatism, and growing up the extent of my knowledge was literally just "labor good liberal bad".

I became much more sympathetic to Communism around this time and adopted many socialist ideas. I was in denial about being a socialist during this period and identified as a Social Democrat instead, but in hindsight it's pretty clear that I only saw Social Democracy as a tool to transition from capitalism to socialism.
