So long as there is a necessary relation between logic and the object (in
this case, the CMP), i.e. so long as the object (a material reality) itself
has a logic which can be grasped through thought, then Hegel's idealist
world-view can not be used as a valid criticism of  systematic dialectics,
imho.
