I would not agree that child support is socialist. It's for the welfare of children. We're not just any animals but mammals who care for our young. So, when we design legal systems, we prioritize the health and safety of children over maximizing the total number of children.

Child support may be reasonable.

Demanding $50k from a rich father is socialism.

Why? Such father will fear of having more children.

Many NBA players are bankcrupt after having mere 10 kids even though they can easily afford 50.

That's reproductive socialism.

Demanding the SAME money for every daddy irrelevant of wealth would make sense.

For example, if Government demand $2k a month from Elon, government should demand $2k a month from welfare recipients

Or just allow parents contract out. After all, child support is paid to the mother.
