I suppose the unfamiliarity of the term in English shouldn't be too surprising if it's a translation. Looks like the Wikipedia entry was created 2023, the oldest citation in its list is 2010.

On a marginally lighter note, I wonder if there are any connections to the "Managed Democracy" of the Helldivers games, where it is used as a hyper-normalized euphemism by a brutal regime.
