Anarchy argues that supreme executive power should not rest in a ceremonially selected individual but instead derive from a mandate from the masses.

Yes that’s paraphrasing Monty Python. But real anarchism isn’t the rejection of all authority, just the rejection of hierarchies of power in favour of ideas of collective responsibility and decision making.

Committees, not Crowns.

Thus it can’t exist becuase some group will eventually gain more power than others and thus exert control.
