Lucius Malfoy, Voldemort and World Domination

For a while, I've been trying to figure out what Voldemort's ultimate goals are, and if they're just about personal immortality and general destruction, why on earth someone like Lucius Malfoy, who seems intent on power and position, would follow him.  I know someone said recently that probably Lucius looks on Voldemort as a means to his own ends, and I think that's very likely.  So what has Voldemort to offer Lucius beyond the not too attractive "obey me or die" directive, that Lucius can't accomplish within Wizarding World politics?

I think that what the pure bloods following Voldemort are after is total world conquest.  I think that they hate the idea of concealment as much as they hate muggles and muggleborn wizards.  In their minds, muggles are inferior, little more than animals, and yet they, the superior race, are the ones in hiding.  What I see Lucius desiring is for control of the WW followed by the conquest of muggles and a world ruled by a wizard elite with himself preferably at the head or at least the power behind the throne.  Of course, Voldemort seems determined to mess around with lame brain plans that end up going nowhere, and Lucius follows them straight into Azkaban, so I have no idea what any of them think they are up to.

If I have snitched anyone's idea without giving credit rest assured it was completely unintentional or coincidental. I hope I've made the slightest bit of sense, since frankly Voldemort doesn't really make any sense to me.  Right now, he seems so cartoonish, it seems like he'd get along just fine with Snidely Whiplash.
