Rands work was a direct criticism of communism.

Given that this is the topic that we are discussing, I do not find her ideas to be fantasy at all.

Stalin and Mao killed many millions of people, both intentionally, and through mere neglect. Probably more than the Nazis. So given that this is the topic, her criticism of a collapsing society doesn't seem that ridiculous.
