Even then, selling it to a single person would only create similar problems in the future. Selling it to multiple competent people would create a more democratic system, instead of giving a single person/family nearly absolute power. Basically just create a board of directors, they can still elect a chairman every few years.

You  certainly can use a few communists (one of the worst systems to be ever created, I absolutely hate it). I wouldn't sell the company to them though. However seeing them become capitalists overnight would be interesting political commentary... :-)

Having the grandfather being a anti-villain is  a good idea. You could also have a more noble commander for even more contrast.

Enemies aren't that important in literature, it isn't a video game. You don't have to specify everyone's weapons unless it's relevant. For example in LoTR, it isn't important which weapons the army wields, it's important if an orc tries to kill Aragorn with a sword. Just have some security guards and machines (a dropship, tank, speeder,...) and arm and describe them according to your needs at thatmoment. You can of course add something like a "spider (scarab) tank" if you want, but you don't need to add to much either.
