Of course, it can either be a self-motivator or a motivator of others.

Of course it can. It is used everyday all over the world to control people of all walks of life. An angry leader uses his position and his means to withhold food, from a people he considers ungrateful for his ruling. One can see that angry can be power in the since that when we don't like what someone says we can lash out, harm, lame or kill that person. Anger is a tool. However, should you wish to put this into a spiritual context instead of just philosophy, I can give you another augment against anger as a power.

Anger IS power. Anger itself is an undirected power or motivator.
The rage felt against emptiness manifests as love. Anger against illness manifests as love of the people suffering it and sometimes the love leads the way to an end of suffering. I can think of no greater power than the rage that is love.

Longstanding anger and hostility compromise lung function and hasten the natural decline in lung power that is a normal part of aging, reveals research published ahead of print in Thorax
The authors base their findings on a study of 670 men, taking part in the long term US Normative Aging Study. Their ages ranged from 45 to 86, but the average age was 62.

no, but it can fuel the quest for power, anger is an emotional state, whilst power can be gained, ie political power, LF

Sure, anger is an emotion that produces a lot of energy.

No. And anger to make others fear or dominate is a very primate-ish
cruel thing.

If you mean power in human relations, yes. It makes people do things that they might not otherwise do.

Sometimes people can perform great feats of strength when stimulated by stress hormones.
