A "socialist calendar" seems like kind of a silly idea to me (because if you're going to make a significant change to your day to day life it should be for a practical reason) but I would support the idea of some kind of decimal calendar or whatever in that vein. Something that is actually consistent, with a set number of days and weeks in each month, rather than the current one which feels very much like trying to remember how many yards are in a mile. I wouldn't be opposed at the same time to renaming the days so we're not referencing some random gods and stuff every time we talk about each day (but also I wouldn't mind keeping them because it's kind of funny)
Decimalisation of the week. 5 day week-end. A year is 40 weeks. Abolition of timezone.
