I mean, Venezuela wasn't really a democracy beforehand. It suffered from colonialism since the time of the Spanish, and it still suffers from the hallmarks of a colonial economy to this day. Even if Maduro was deposed (which he deserves), that doesn't change the fact that it is still ripe for a corrupt leader to take control and exploit its reliance on oil to gain favors with multinational corporations, just like Chavez and Maduro has done.
