I've seen voluntarism and utopia advocates here in steemit, I wonder how it goes well. :)

I have great respect for those who volunteer their time to those who have less (I have done multiple stints myself), but as a way of life, it tends to only last until the volunteer themselves starts wondering where *their* next meal is going to come from. An economy based on "let's just all share" has never worked on a large scale, and never on a small scale for very long. Sooner or later, someone gets either lazy or greedy. The entire system of currency-based-economics originated as a means of measuring the worth of goods and services, probably with the original intent of exposing the lazy and greedy ones in the tribe.
As for Utopia, well, note that the word "Utopia" is a translation of the English word "nowhere."
Though you make some very good points. Making those who live in wealthier countries (and who, ironically enough, spend most of their time protesting in the streets that their lives aren't fair and that they want a $15 minimum hourly wage while there are families in Quezon, for example, who don't make $15 daily) realize "hey genius, from a global perspective you clowns out there on the OWS picket lines ARE the much-talked-about '1%' " and getting them to actually do something with their lives, be it volunteer service for a week or so a year, or charity donations, or if they are of a more enterprising spirit, opening some kind of wealth-generating and job-creating business in a place where there are fewer jobs...
...Well, it would go a long way toward improving the world. 
I find it unlikely to happen soon though, for the reasons I mentioned above: too many people living in wealthy countries (I'm looking at my homeland here) think they're "oppressed" while in fact they're living fat from a global perspective, and rather than helping anyone else they're whining that Bernie Sanders didn't win the presidency with his promises to distribute wealth *to them*.

Let's all share? Voluntaryists do not believe in that.  What made you think they did? My property is mine.  If I worked for it and gained it fairly, it is mine.  Perhaps "voluntary" doesn't mean the same thing to you.  All interactions between humans should be voluntary.  That includes sharing.  If anyone or anything forces a person to share, then it isn't voluntarism.
