“Democracy is also a form of worship. It is the worship of Jackals by Jackasses. It is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”
H.L. Mencken
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

I could be way off on this, but I think Palani was just trying to say that each human being is an independant state, and Turner is no more or no less a "State" than any other human being. (Does that even make sense? WTF and I typing? Haha!)
But my Palanese is pretty sub-standard, so I could be wrong.

Basically correct but I would not use human being. I would refer to the the class called "man".
States and governments are separate entities. Governments represent states but I doubt if human beings can be states. Man has the elements of both state and government in himself yet if he chooses to be irresponsible then he must be governed externally.
Make me one with everything.

Take it up with King James' translators; I was quoting them. In the original hebrew "man" is "ha adam" (האדם). The essence of man/האדם is both "man" and "woman". That is to say, genderless, like the Creator. In other words, a complete man is actually a couple composed of a man and a woman.
In the context of the KJV of Genesis 1:27, I am a male man. Otherwise I am just a man.
