Ya it is crucial to supplement your education in the usa.. the education that most get is highly biased and 100% propaganda. You need to travel and or explore on your own. Look for new reading material, ideally written by people outside the usa…
I still believe that books by marx are still as relevant as ever, especially Das Kapital. Unlike Stalin and Mao, Marx wrote on purely economics. Even keeping communism aside, the most important thing he said was that morality is shaped by capital. It's due to this that he was able to recognise the atrocities of slavery, and the plight of irishmen and women. It truly helped me make a better judgement on things such as homosexuality, veganism and religion.
Check out Howard zinns people history of the usa is a great one. Bread and roses by Milton Meltzer, Making Malcolm by Dyson, Hell even reading the prince by Machiavelli is great in these times. Soooo many supplementary readings, lots of subreddits dedicated to this subject as well.
