I was asked this question today by a contributor, and here's the answer:
Corrupt believes in something called parallelism: some communities might allow drugs, others might not. Instead of, like in most of the West today, apply one value system to all people, we need to be flexible and allow different communities to carry different values.
Generally we take a libertarian socialist stance on issues like drugs and sodomy: if you can do it at home without being destructive to the community, feel free to do it. If you can't control it outside of your private life, you need to stop or you'll face exclusion/death. So, we're libertarian in that we believe the individual has a right to pursue his or her own interests in life, but we're also socialists in that we believe these interests ultimately must be within the context of the interests of the community as a whole. That which is destructive to the community is not allowed.
The point with our stance is that we don't believe in a war on drugs. It doesn't work. You can't holocaust or ban all gays on the planet, and some people will always do drugs, so we need to find zones where they can do that, away from people who are not into that.
