"Society" implies that interactions are social (as opposed to anti-social). Social interactions are cooperative & mutually beneficial. As soon as coercion & force are introduced the interaction ceases to be cooperative. Coercion & force are anti-social behaviors that transform a society into a tyranny.

Even the language we use often contains the answers we are looking for if we learn to pay more attention to meaning

I aspire to live in civilization rather than society.

Society implies shared membership in some organization, while civilization implies a shared code of (civil) behavior
