A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

So how could society take matters in their hand and change everything?
As long as people have conflicting goals they will fight each other instead of building society together.
Remove the conflicting goals (class)
Hint: this requires revolution
The proletarians fight among themselves. Unifying them with the middle class doesn't help much.
Revolution without a goal will not change much.
Yes, this is the fault of false consciousness. Which is why class consciousness and a vanguard party are necessary.
But unfortunately not sufficiant. History has shown that people don't want to be forced into communism.
Who taught you it is always forced? The bourgeois?
Nobody. You are right, there is no requirement for force.
At the end of a revolution, the object is typically right where it started. It's basic physics.
Purity ~~testing~~ beatings will continue until morale improves.

Everything we do marches us forward on the path to extinction due to climate change. If that isn't a conflicting goal I don't know what is.
Rebuilding community is the first step. Capitalism is on its usual decay path to fascism, an ideology based on us fearing each other more than the state. Challenging that notion is the first step to getting heads to roll.
Which leads to a civil war.
