 So how is it that all of his followers and affiliates do not realize that LV is out for himself alone and really has none of their interests at heart? How is it that they blindly follow someone who goes against his own philosophy...What will it take for everyone to realize that the philosophy touted by LV is a load of bunk?

 Sadly, as history itself shows us, sometimes folk, once deluded, never realize that someone's philosophy is, as you say, "a load of bunk".  They follow him/her wholeheartedly, rationalizing the changes, believing in the "vision", twisted as it might prove. Witness Hitler and his followers, for instance.  Though Hitler himself was far from the ideal he espoused (in many ways, including his ethnicity and appearance), many believed in his "philosophy" and adhered to his rule.
   
 Voldemort displays some of the same megalomaniacal traits, frankly--his obsession with race and purity, his self-centered nature, and his sadism among them.  Still, as with Hitler, there are others that find his views attractive, abhorrent though they may be to the rest of us. For example, Bellatrix clearly cleaves to Voldemort as ardently as Eva Braun, be she spouse or no.
   
 Hitler destroyed himself.  Perhaps, in a way, Voldemort may too, though Harry (and his ability to love) may prove to be instrumental to his downfall, given the prophecy.
