Innocence = Ignorance. Ignorance = Inaction. Action = Change. If the world is imperfect, it can only be perfect if it is changed.
Lack of action is worse than any action at all. Innocence is a a fake bliss which ignores the problems around oneself. And without action, everyone can be controlled by those other than themselves - to the point of complete dictatorship, which only generates a fake utopia.
This is seen in Brave New World and 1984, two of the greatest dystopian books of all time. In them, it is explained that every utopia is a dystopia. A utopia like that must operate under ignorance and innocence, as the bliss of the people allows the rulers to do as they desire, which often means completely controlling the people - without them even realizing how they're being controlled.
You should look up the Allegory of the Cave.
