Force and power are two things that cannot coexist; they do not meet.
Force is a kind of affirmation of the loss of power; it is the negation of power and, in essence, it destroys it.
Hannah Arendt, in particular, but also many other thinkers, as well as the entire modern political history of many countries to this day, show that force—its use, that is—is in fact a sign of the absence of power.
Power is the concerted action of people, the capacity for organized and coordinated action, and the achievement of results as a consequence of the combination of these actions and the ideas or values that guide the individual or the subject that carries them out.
The inability to act in this way is force; it is the absence of power.
