Nowhere does it say "abolish profits." It appears to me they want profit not to be in control. I'm no expert about Democratic Socialists, nor am I an advocate for them. I have not read the whole platform.
"We are socialists because we reject an international economic order sustained by private profit, alienated labor, race and gender discrimination, environmental destruction, and brutality and violence in defense of the status quo."
"to promote international standards that put social justice before corporate profit."
"But today corporations no longer aspire to expand production and consumption by raising global living standards; rather, global capital engages in a race to increase profits by "downsizing" and lowering wages."
