The Alpha Legion never went into the Eye or the Maelstrom, and Space Marines without the influence of the Warp rarely live to be a thousand years old or older (Dante is the exception, due in part to the blood of Sanguinius), thus it's very possible the Legion has remained uncorrupted as a whole because the original Legionnaires are all dead, replaced by new recruits over the millenia, psycho indoctrinated with the Legion's history. Now don't get me wrong, have certain cells fallen to corruption? The short answer is yes, the long answer is not actual much more complicated, but each cell acts as an individual, and it's not beyond belief that if succumbing to corruption furthered Legion objectives that the Harrowmasters of that cell would condone it. So in truth, the answer can be both, but the truth remains unknown as to what their post Horus Heresy endgame is.
