The Danger of Ethnocentrism in Persia/Iran:

#Thread

(1)
I believe that ethnocentrism in Iran is real, serious, common and at the same time dangerous.
And the reason is that in the last century, when nation-building had reached its peak in the world, ...
(2)
... Iran still remained like the "corpse of an empire" that lacked a necessary central power and did not start nation-building, while deceiving themselves that "yeah, Iran is a historical nation and does not need nation-building ! ...".
(3)

... Whereas, nation-building is Iran's first and most vital need; Without it, Iran will remain a backward ethnocentrist country ...
(4)

Unfortunately, Iran currently has a content of federalism and this content must change as soon as possible ...
(5)

The national interests should not fall victim to some retarded ethnocentrists seeking only their cheap ethnic rights.

We should not fall into the trap of sentimentalism ...

Persia or Iran, Persian or Farsi?
About Reza Shah's gross and historical mistake.

In 1935 the Persian government requested countries with which it had diplomatic relations to call Persia Iran, which is the name of the country in Persian.
(2)
This was a grievous error based on a misdirected sense of nationalism. The suggestion for the change is said to have come from the Persian ambassador to Germany, who came under the influence of the Nazis.
(3)
At the time Germany was in the grip of racial fever and cultivated good relations with nations of Aryan blood.
