Like most loner-killers, he confused his own sense of being a loser with his prey's success, and thought he could somehow borrow some of that glory. Like many loner-killers, he developed a very confused political/philosophical credo which he further confused with his need for a personal sense of achievement, and convinced himself he was serving his Cause (whatever it was) by this heroic act.
It is exactly the same mental-emotional confusion that drove Booth and a suicide bomber jihadist.

Pretty much this. Oswald's life is just a series of events where he tried to prove himself exceptional and failed.
>Loser in school, not popular like his brother
>Joins Marines to be like his brother
>Fails at that, so starts hiding behind communism
>Defects to USSR, expected to be greeted as a hero
>No one in Russia cares, so he defects back and expects to be seen as a hero
>No one in America cares, so he starts getting more worked up with political activism
>Tires to assassinate a well-known general and fails
>JFK just happens to be coming to town and passing by his workplace, which happens to be a good shooting platform. Does the obvious thing.
