Now that the FCBD Avengers/Captain America issue is out, can we talk about Ta-Nehisi Coates' Captain America run?

In the FCBD story, the new villain faction, the Power Elite (filling the role that Rampart filled in Waid's run and that Hydra filled before that), seems to be a surprising alliance of ex-Soviets (including the currently unnamed woman who narrates the story) and US military-industrial complex types (like Thunderbolt Ross and Norman Osborn). Their philosophy is that might makes right, and that pro- and anti-Hydra demonstrators are equally despicable (since they send an army of Nuke clones to gun them down). Oh, and they have an army of Nuke clones!

What do you think they're actually trying to accomplish?
