English term or phrase: Bible-punching
And yet the appeal of such parties sometimes went far beyond the working classes; and even those mass parties most uncompromisingly identifying themselves with one class patently mobilized support from other social strata. There were, for instance, countries in which socialism, in spite of its ideological lack of rapport with the rural world, captured large areas of the countryside - and not only the support of those who might be classified as 'rural proletarians': as in parts of France, of central Italy and of the USA, where the most solid stronghold of the Socialist Party was, suprisingly, to be found among the Bible-punching poor white farmers of Oklahoma - with a vote of more than 25 per cent for its 1912 presidential candidate in the twenty-three most rural counties of that state. Equally remarkable, small artisans and shopkeepers were notably overrepresented in the membership of the Italian Socialist Party, compared to their numbers in the total population.
