Yes, there is a group "ego" in a social memory complex. That is to say, there is a group self, or group identity. My understanding of ego is that it is merely a circumscribed boundary of consciousness (a self). The societal self is the hub of the social memory complex. Over the course of the densities, the the individualized self is gradually turned away from, until it is abandoned altogether in favor of the societal self. This doesn't indicate loss, but rather an lessening of the illusion of separation. Every individual soul pattern adds to the uniqueness and complexity of conscious expression the social memory complex is capable of.
It's like, if you were with a really good group of friends, who, over the course of time, became so absolutely familiar and comfortable with one another that they operated in perfect harmony, they begin to operate as one. In higher densities, this harmony among the group becomes so refined that the lines that separate one "friend" from another "friend" begin to dissolve. You begin to have two vantage points: the individual with its particularly specific perspective, and the social self, which is the culmination of all the individual vantage points.
If you identify with separation, unity is scary. Most egos do, unconsciously, identify with separation rather than understanding that they are a specific expression of the whole, so it's no surprise why there is so much disharmony on our world.
