I suppose it's common to say "he collapsed in a heap" or "she collapses under pressure" but I had not seen "they want to collapse [object/nation/ideology]" - I always thought it was "cause the collapse of" (or somesuch sort of flummery up with which I will not put).
I think it's that it's normally an intransitive verb, not a transitive one, and freaky Rs are trying to make it all transitive and shit.
