The entire question depends on how you define "collapse". Mad Max and other apocalyptic scenarios will never happen without a pretty-much-impossible lever of nuclear war breaking out on a large enough scale to gently caress everything over forever. Physically speaking there are enough nukes on the planet to wipe out every urban center on Earth but most of those are aimed at just a few of them, plus all the other nuclear weapons that they'd wanna take out first.

Human civilization as we know it on a global scale will certainly come to an end relatively soon, possibly or even likely within my own lifetime, but governments and societies are still going to exist. Whether or not they will be pleasant to live in or even resemble the world we live in now is entirely another question (to which the answer is almost certainly no, not at all).
