PSL interferes way too much in the US presidential elections to be controlled opposition. The Democrats wouldn’t constantly be trying to kick PSL candidates off ballots otherwise.
The PSL also actively educates about AES states and revolutionary movements through their party and associated orgs like Breakthrough News (Eugene Puryear and Brian Becker are hosts on it).
What people mean by controlled opposition in the case of PSL is that they just make people go to marches and protests instead of actually planning for a revolution.

If you want them to start doing actual combat eventually ala the Black Panthers, the PSL first needs to build a critical mass of support among the people via their current educating and organizing. Otherwise they will get annihilated by the Feds ala the Black Panthers.
