It’s basically the same as any other rule: if everyone follows the rule, you get a better result than when the thing is voluntary.
Imagine there are no taxes and no welfare programs. Spending resources on the welfare of others is entirely voluntary.
Let’s say 20% of the population does this. What happens? The 20% of the population which is the most altruistic has fewer resources, some of which was given to the 80% least altruistic people.
If you do this repeatedly, what happens? The least altruistic people end up with the vast majority of resources. This is bad.
What do we do instead? We establish a governmental welfare program, and we make everyone contribute to it, regardless of whether they’re altruistic or not.
The workers actually own the means of production directly and welfare is made largely unnecessary, excepting disability, then you abolish the useless state.

No state, who enforces this?
The community. Individuals laughing at the idea of some asshole trying to take a 70% cut of their work.
So you’re relying on individuals not to be racist, sexist, homophobic, greedy, form clicks, make pacts to gang up on each other.
That’s just gang violence with extra steps
