Revolutionary authority in Algeria replaced the elder brother’s automatic precedence

Evidence

And the traditional respect for the big brother did not inhibit the political or military chief. Invested with a power within the framework of the Revolution, the brother was led to go beyond the stereotyped, automatic ways of behavior. The man who seemed to disappear behind the brother now came to the fore. The older brother was no longer necessarily right, and each one now defined his own values. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 371
