What POS said is pretty much exactly what I got out of it. He used a movement that was gaining steam to further his own ends and they were drawing parallels between that and the early industrial revolution / rise of the Nazi party around the first world war. It's not that he believed, or even cared that non-benders were oppressed, they were tools in his own quest.

Even if it was intended to be a mini-series from the get-go, it was really poorly executed and when it ended with "Super #1 ultra happy endings and bad guys are gone 4lyfe" I was like
