"What would make more sense, would be to empower the laboring class in such a way that the capitalist class sees it to their own gain to empower them further, so that the public as a whole flourishes, rather than landing us in a stagnant "utopia" for the sake of vindicatiing dispriviledged segment alone."

How do you plan on doing this? In what way will the working class be empowered, and what incentives will the capitalist class have to empower them more? When you mean empower, do you mean give them political power? Now, the capitalist class has an incentive to make things worse for employees, because lower pay and longer hours mean more money for them. The Dictatorship of the Proletariat has a similar meaning to what you are saying: give political power to the working class.
