Socialism is a political structure intended to equalize disparate economic groups, whereas Anarchy eschews any semlance of government. In its original Greek, the word literally means "without a ruler" - an(without)archy(from archon, meaning 'ruler').

What is the connection between Anarchism and alchemy?

There isn't one. Anarchism is a system without established rule. Alchemy is the process of changing one material into another (lead into gold). No connection exists between anarchism and alchemy.
