­These sharing economy imaginaries, alongside social media discourses of public forums owned by private companies, highlight a novel aspect of Silicon Valley imperialism in which racial cap­i­tal­ist pro­cesses are cloaked by technoliberalism. By technoliberalism, I invoke Neda Atanasoski and Kalindi Vora’s critique of a postracial and postgendered version of universal humanity enabled by technology, one in which fantasies of pro­gress for the liberal rights-­bearing subject mask colonial mechanisms of seizure, exploitation, appropriation, and degradation that technologies reproduce.9 Technoliberalism also gets at how, amid the fourth industrial revolution and second machine age, not only have racialized and gendered differentiations been accelerated, but also sharing economy grammars have appropriated socialist understandings of communalism in order to advance cap­i­tal­ist expropriation. Postsocialist analytics rooted in an understanding of multiply existing social and communal proj­ects that exceed confinement by state socialist spatiotemporality help elucidate the mechanics of this predation.
