Please let me know whether it has the typical "Their intentions were noble but their methods were wrong" ending or not once you're finished reading it.

It does not! I was pleasantly surprised. The author does a good job of illustrating the effects of material conditions on a person and the class struggles within a society without being heavy handed or preachy about it.

The author's acknowledgements even call out Marx, Federici, and Césaire.
