The Liothidian Revolutionary calendar (Liothidian: liothidischer revolutionärer kalender), also commonly called the All-Socialist calender (Allsozialistischer Kalender), is a calendar created and implemented during the August Revolution, and remains in use today in Liothidia. Despite early attempts at a complete overhaul of the dating system, including suggestions of basing the calender over the Autumnal equinox, senior revolutionaries questioned its viability among the general populace.
As a result, the revolutionary calendar officially took the structure of the Gregorian calendar and renamed each month, removed all holidays, national and religious and re-aligned the years to establish 1919 as year zero. The calendar introduced Pre-Revolution (Vorrevolution, VR) and Post-Revolution (Nachrevolution, NR) replacing Anno Domini and Before Christ.

- 2. Solidarität (Liothidian for Solidarity), replaces February.
- 3. Blühen (Liothidian for Bloom), replaces March.
