This is trivially true. Any socialist formation can drop its demand to end capitalism. Many have.

Do you think it matters what's in a platform? Do you think you should characterize a formation by what's in it's platform or by what is not in it's platform?

Labour were/are social chauvinists who oversaw both radical and meek reforms to the capitalist system they've been tasked with overseeing over the last century. Their charter's ambition never manifested because they are ardent supporters of bourgeois democracy, and continuously fail to overthrow the basic elements of the political system they operate in to stop swings to outright reactionaries like the Tories.
