There are a few that I'd point you to - Lenin's "Imperialism, the Highest State of Capitalism" with Khrushchev's Secret Speach to the 20th Party Congress as a counterpoint. Basically, Lenin's book is a how-to for implementing socialism and communism in the real world including some interesting commentary on the value of the individual in the Marxist world. You can see the beginnings of the cult of personality that Stalin managed to hone to such a fine point. The Secret Speach is probably one of the most important documents in the 20th Centurty since it was the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union with it's rejection of the cult of personality generally and Stalin in particular. It's also interesting since Khrushchev himself was absolutely complicit in the crimes he acused Stalin of. I'm assuming that The Communist Manifesto is already on the list.
Mao's Little Red Book is also pretty interesting.
Jonathon Swift's "A Modest Proposal" is a hilarious read and is starting point for modern satire, IMO. Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations" is the basic foundation of modern Western enomic philosophy. The last one is Martin Luther King, Jr's "I Have a Dream" speach.
