This is an interesting point. I'm not really sure what it's based on or what exactly you're implying though. Care to elaborate?

Short answer:

Try to take the toy of a 3-year-old away and find out what the kid does and what it implies.

I happen to disagree and here is why:

Put 1 year old with a toy in a room with a 2 year old with no toy (or his own toy for that matter, maybe even a whole pile of his owh toys lol) and see what happens and what THAT implies.

It implies that people are, from the start, self-serving bastards that will step over the rights of another to aquire what they want. That they don't value anyone elses freedom/suffering so long as it doesn't either effect their own happiness or is right in front of them. It says that as long as resources are scarce that people will fight to obtain...oh I see what you did there.
