Its pretty clear when they say in many place to abolish profit or abolish private profit. They dont say abolish profit over X amount or profit above X is bad.
In fact their statements are pretty clear. They reject private profit without and qualifiers about limits or anything else. They are for social/collective ownership of all means of production and distribution, witkit qualifiers. Well if everything is owned collectively as they desire there can be no private profits.
You seem to want to make their beliefs into something milder than what they are, for some reason. There is a reason they are in a socialist party and not the Democratic Party, and is becuse their beliefs are different. As I said, start with understanding the very basis of what Socialism is- real socialism, the kind people who join a socialist party believe in, calls for all resources, means of production and means of distribution to be collectively owned in one form or another. And that means no private ownership, and without that there can be no private profits.
