To which I give the really long answer: 

I've always been curiuse if Voldemort even understands what he wants."

He wants to be immortal, to rid the WW from Muggle-borns; he wants his followers to bow deeply. He doesn't seems to pretend to rule the whole world. As you've pointed it, he's a psychopath, and he's too involved in his own madness and too selfish to be able to rule the world . He has reached the point of no return when he failed in his attempt to  kill young Harry, and now he's completely obsessed by having a revenge. Yes, you are right when you paint him as a Dr Doom, a Dr Evil. He's able to organise a plot, as we see in GoF, but it's in order to kill Harry, not to take the power. Even when he was at the top, his way of acting looked more like terrorism than to a deliberate struggle for power. He spent years killing and terrifying, but I don't remember JKR wrote he told the MoM he wanted to rule the WW (if I'm wrong, tell me). Many people compare him with Hitler, and they are right until one point: Hitler used terrorist methods too, but it was in order to destabilize the government and then take the power, and he quickly reached his goal. I never read Voldemort tried to overturn the MoM... Well, I didn't think this post would bring me there. Voldemort never behaved like a declared dictator, but if we trust in what Hagrid told Harry about his "reign", everybody in the WW was acting as if he had come to power... Should I say that in a sense, Voldemort was powerful because the other wizards didn't dare to face him, giving him strengh? That would fit with the fact they avoid calling his name.They don't face their fear. Voldemort's power is in the fear he's able to generate.Did Harry survive only because, as a baby, he didn't know who Voldemort was, and then didn't fear him? 

What do you think?
