That's rather a large ball of yarn to untangle.
Venezuela at one time was a democracy, and while we in the west would say that it was one with weak democratic institutions compared to our own, it was actually one of the stronger democracies in Latin America.
But Venezuela elected a populist named Hugo Chavez. Chavez was very popular and implemented SOME socialist policies including nationalizing several industries, confiscating property, and the like. Chavez gradually leveraged his popularity into legal changes giving himself and his office more and more power.
Upon his death, he was succeeded by Nicolas Maduro. Maduro was not as popular but rigged elections to stay in power. The Venezuelan legislature, the OAS, and many others have called these elections fraudulent. Maduro however refused to leave office and thanks to support from China, Cuba, and Russia, he has succeeded in remaining in power illegally.
So Dictatorship is probably the best simple answer to your question. But it's one of those dictatorships that adopts the window-dressing of democracy to pretend it has legitimacy.
