No Pahlavi dynasty

So WI Reza Shah had really followed Ataturk's steps as he claimed and turned Iran into a (one party, semi-authoritarian) republic instead of assuming the throne himself?
 
This would not change much. He would still have to disempower the landlord (many of them were ayatollahs) thus creating the situation that lerad to the Islamic Revolution. Turning Persia into a real democracy could prevent this, because thenthere were no demonstrations against his regime, demonstartions the ayatollahs used for revenge.
