The Rebels were literalists of Mao Zedong's "Little Red Book", which states that "The force leading our cause forward is the Chinese Communist Party" as an argument that the Western countries would not form communist parties, but only organize the cells of the Chinese Communist Party.
An important source of inspiration to the Rebels was the Danish Maoist theoretician Gotfred Appel, whose sponging state theory argued that the working class in the West was bribed by imperialist forces and therefore would never rebel.
The Rebels Central Committe summoned a meeting where some "deviants" should be mocked. Several older members - who were active in the group before its transition to cells - got up and declared that the movement had derailed to madness and left the meeting as well as the movement. Only five people stayed with the leader Francisco Sarrion. The next day Sarrion was gone and all the cells dissolved.
Francisco Fernandez Sarrion (alias Fredrik Svensson), born June 18, 1937, died in 1996, was a Spanish born Maoist - profession stucco - who lived, worked and raised a family in Sweden. Sarrion led for six months in 1968 a radical fraction within the Maoist movement, called the Rebel movement. For a few years in the 1960s Sarrion was a resident in the People's Republic of China, which was then ruled by the Communist Party of China led by Mao Zedong.
