Ok so after a lot of googleing, I found a work around. Im still not sure why i get this error.
But according to this post there is a way to add alias in webpack.
So i added this to my webpack.config.js
var alias = {};
alias['fbjs/lib/memoizeStringOnly'] = '../node_modules/fbjs/lib/memoizeStringOnly';
module.exports = {
.
.
alias : alias,
.
.
}
and now it works!
But, and now Im guessing, some package must be broken trying to access this component from the wrong location

Within the last week or so, I've run into the same issue but with react-dom#15.4.2 instead of react-dom#15.5.4. What I think I've found to be the issue is that Webpack isn't able to resolve the fbjs dependency within the react-dom/node_modules directory.
For me, I was able to solve the issue by including the fbjs package as an explicit dependency in the package.json. Now instead of the project-level dependency linking to the peer of react-dom, the module in react-dom links to the project-level module.
Now, I don't think this is necessarily the right solution, especially if you allow minor version bumps with '~' and '^' in your package.json, but because we are only updating our dependencies when we need to by hand, our team is comfortable specifying the version of fbjs.
Snippet of our package.json:

I ran into this error as well after uninstalling a package. It seems fbjs was somehow removed as well, even though other packages still depended on it.
I fixed it by manually installing fbjs with npm install fbjs --save
