Because free market is sometimes (in fact a lot of the times) bullshit. Free market doesn’t work when people have no personal interest on something and in itself promotes individualism. So free market doesn’t care about people who suffer so much they become a burden to the economy. And that’s for any suffering, not only pain : you can be of no interest for free markets if you are poor, sick, isolated, homeless, if your country is at war, under influence, constrained, abused or just unlucky … Free markets can fulfill most of the human needs by transforming money from and into goods and services but if there is something it’s not going to do, it’s to care. It’s an issue because humans naturally cares about things and other humans and that’s how our societies aren’t collapsing everyday. But the capitalist system, for all its proven goods, also inherently promotes individualism and demotes caring of the world and people around. Volunteers are doing the important hard work that free market and politics won’t do. All of this could probably be avoided in a perfect democracy but a perfect democracy will never happen and would anyway live in an imperfect world.
