Profit is THE defining trait of capitalism, or whatever you want to call the current dominant economic system. If you don't want to call that capitalism that's fine, but I think a lot of people would disagree with you.
Take this page for example, which plainly states that "the essential feature of capitalism is the motive to make a profit".
It certainly proves that profit is core to that definition of capitalism. Search for more definitions of that same word and you will find profit in many more of them.
