I know a lot of people in the movement believe capitalism is the problem here and so they have a very socialist leaning. However, capitalism did not corrupt itself, the greed people corrupted it. What is going to stop people from corrupting a socialist system?

Nothing, and it has been tried ad nauseum.

I agree with this video from FreeDomainRadio describing why the state is the problem, NOT capitalism (hint - they're the ones with the guns)

Exactly. If this is a socialist movement, count me out.
