I've searched for Conference talks about condemning Fascism or Naziism, but can only find condemnation for Communism. Pres Uchtdorf only referred to his "nation" in the Women's Session. After Charlottesville, the Church came out with a direct condemnation of only those groups involved, only because people were confused as to where the Church stood. By not directly speaking out against Hitler or Mussolini has resulted in that confusion. The 1st Presidency in 1942 sent a letter to the US Treasury denouncing Naziism, Fascism, Socialism, and Communism, but never passed it along to the Church membership. There was no denouncement of Fascism in 1934 when the American Nazi Party in NY were exposed by Major General Smedley D. Butler of their attempted coupe to overthrow FDR & take over the US Government. Trump got in trouble for not directly denouncing Fascism, Naziism, or Communism when he glossed over it with a generalized denouncement of hatred ("on many sides"). So it would seem that critics would not be convinced of the Church's stand. So we must take Uchtdorf's general counsel ourselves to speak out & directly denounce the infiltration of Fascism, Naziism, & Communism in the US.
