That's exactly the point. He projects onto others what he hates in himself. 
He wishes he was a pureblood, so he chose a philosophy which held up being 
pureblood as the best way to be, and thus recruited followers. He then 
persecutes those who are less than pureblood and Muggles because that's the 
part he hates in himself. Sure it's twisted. That's the point.
