Regardless of which you blame, if you intend to change ideologies (not saying Venezuela will), then you take out the head of the current system.

Clarifying the mechanism here - a sign that the ideology has changed is that the head of state changes.

The Head of State generally has a substantial power base in the system in order to hold their seat. If they are ousted, it is a sign their power base has waned and the system changed.

But changing the head is not sufficient to change the system.
