StatusUnfetched — filed 2026-10-24 from the owner's exchange of 2026-10-23/24, shared at https://chatgpt.com/share/6adc1ece-bb28-83e9-a8f6-cadf0f8b7113, where it is cited at turn U16; a reading was attempted on 2026-10-24 and failed on access, not availability. A lawful copy exists: Unpaywall and OpenAlex list a deposit in the University of Michigan's Deep Blue repository (hdl:2027.42/51028, file 256.pdf) as the submitted version. Deep Blue answered every request, to the file, the handle and its API, with a Cloudflare bot check (403 or a script-only page), from curl and a second fetcher; the Wayback Machine holds a 2012 snapshot of the file but reset every connection; CORE's mirror was blocked the same way. The two Routledge reprints OpenAlex marks free returned 403, and the Internet Archive holds the 1985 volume only for print-disabled lending. Course-site and Anarchist Library postings were found and not used. It stays Unfetched until a copy is supplied or Deep Blue can be reached. No NOTE is filed.

Why this is here

The exchange cited it at turn U16 for protection as a racket: the provider of security can profit from the threat and from keeping it alive, and states grew through the extraction that war required.
