Just like anyone deciding to make their opinion public, they should always be retrospective of what they say or it can be used against them.  

Was Tupac Shakur actually a Republican?

Was Tupac Shakur actually a Republican?

He was a communist. He was an active member of communist groups.

Just like 99% of all Democrats.  

I have no idea why we are talking about Tupac though.  

Capitalist and communist: so he was constantly punching himself.

Tupac was definitely a communist since he believed in their ideology and was actively involved in communist activist groups. He just happened to also be rich from his successful career as a rapper.

Not sure if serious now...

I wasn't sure either, so I looked it up. Sure enough. 

Happy birthday to our brother and comrade, #TupacShakur! This is his Young Communist League membership card from when he lived in Baltimore, Maryland. #RestInPower #SolidarityForever pic.twitter.com/oZmwG8fapK

Seems like it was mostly when he was younger that he was really active in that scene though. At least per the Wikipedia page:

See the early life section, just before his move to California. Beyond that, I only see some influence that it might have had on Outlawz, but that also seems to draw inspiration from dictators of all sorts, not just communist ones.
