can someone explain the death drive

The pop cultural understanding of the Oedipus complex is retarded. But if you take it as more of a metaphor about how sons eventually come to usurp the roles of their fathers in society it actually has a lot to say. Read Civilization and Its Discontents and Totem and Taboo

Freud realized he dun goofed with his substance abuse and smoking and then rationalized his lifestyle choices and fear of dying miserably by making up the death drive.

It's the usual ad hoc argument made by all analysts.

Let's be honest. Psychoanalysis' position on libido is and has always been
"I'm not saying it's sexual, but it's totally sexual."

It's almost always a very blatant sexualization of psychological motivations, until someone presses them on it. The suddenly it's totally the Greek hedonistic libido.

And as soon as analysts stop interpreting libido as this universal sexual drive of everything (like Bion or Fonagy) the PA community gets their panties in a bunch and reject it as "not real psychoanalysis".

The jouissance has more to do with wanting to die because only in death fulfillment can be achieved. Also the unconscious does not understand what dying means, so it wants to die in order to keep living without fearing of death.
